[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
unfortunately, no. The xml that defines order doesn't define the layout, and the xml that defines the layout has all the icons lumped into one element. :-(

Yeah, that's exactly how mine looks. something you might be able to do is this:

Recompile your system ui, and navigate to the drawable folder. It'll be drawable-mdpi or drawable-hdpi depending. In there there will be a file called statusbar_background.png. Make a copy of it, called statusbar_background2.png. Open up the new copy inan image editor and remove the transparency, then save it. Use the old trick to avoid signing, then push your systemui back.
[Android Themes] brainvision:
Just to be sure I understood what you mean..

Doing thast way I would have a transparent statusbar only when the notification menu is NOT pulled down, while when the notification is down and when i receive a notification alert I would have normal statusbar..

Is it right or I misunderstood?

thanks man, you are very kind..
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah. One thing I forgot to mention is that you'll need to change the dateview background to statusbar_background2. So when you pull the status bar down it'll go opaque. If you change the background if the notification stuff to statusbar_background2 it'll stop the notifications from overlaying too. ;-)
[Android Themes] alley23:
how to remove the transparency in background 2?

@geammarfreak hats off mate..must say a user friendly guide! Could guide me to make a theme with black statusbar(ics by achep) transparent statusbar?
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
You could probably just open up the theme apk and switch out the status bar graphics with a transparent version.

Even if my life depended on it it doubt I could make it work :mad:

Lol. I spent so many hours on it, but I don't understand what he did differently. Every time I tried my status bar would just disappear, so I'm as stumped as everyone else. My new phone has re-kindled my hacking addiction, so I might sink a few more hours of my life into it over the weekend ;)
[Android Themes] brainvision:
Hi GrammarFreak

I finally found the time to work on the statusbar to try to bypass the overlap issue by copying statusbar png to statubar_backgroud2 and removing the transparency for this last image file (just as you told me); than editing the xml into the DateView background part..

but..

when I go into drawable folder I have a statusbar_backgroud.9.png!!

I can't well remember bu I read that there were problem with the 9 files, or at least there were something different to do when we find a 9 file image..

What to do? Do I have to remove the transparency from that file?

And, to be honest, it doesn't seem to me transparent!! I'm attaching the file so that you could see it.. and - if you want, obviously - can you please edit it for me? I'm absolutely a noob on Gimp and I'm not sure how to work with the file, 'cause I can't see transparency on it.. If you don't want to do it, don't worry at all! No problem!!!

Files attached are form the LDPI and the MDPI folders..

Thank you very much..

P.S.: I extract the statusbar background files directly from the SystemUI.apk and not from the decompiled file, 'cause I noticed that its were a little bit different (the image from the decompiled apk seems to have the outlines all around, don't know how to explain better) and because that what you told me to do.. Is it right, isn't it?
[Android Themes] adizz4:
Everything looks ok for me but I got a + on the top right when usb isn't plugged in. How do I remove it? or would it be possible to put a ribbon there?
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
Err, search around for hot to edit .9.pngs. Things have changed since I learnt about status bar theming it would seem. :confused:

I don't know what that icon represents
[Android Themes] adizz4:
I managed to replace the + with a ribbon. To remove the gap just use % battery.

Power control widget at the bottom!

Woot! Power control at the bottom.

I'm so close:

<img snip> (old screenie, see below)

I've done it a completely different way to Taine0 too, this should be FAR less bugged out ;)

EDIT:

Ok, so the way Taine0 did this originally (I got it figured out, and I hated it) would make the power control widget appear at the bottom (ish) of the screen the moment you touched the status bar, then the status bar and notification shade would line up with it. See HERE for a screenshot. Notice how the notification shade is only pulled down about half way.

Now, with my method (which no-one else has done, as far as I'm aware) this doesn't happen.

[Android Themes] yonzz:
Hello sir :)

I just have done the bottom power widget tutorial at your 3rd post.

I just only change what you said in the tutorial.

But, why it becomes like this?? umm, its hard to tell, but image tells everything

Here's the Screenshot.

The power widget still appear in the top, meanwhile the bottom power widget appears but nothing in it.

Oh, i use CyanogenMod 7.2 Galaxy Gio.

Thanks for the answer/
[Android Themes] ehmjay:
hey thanks for the great guide..just wanna ask if its possible to replace the date with the time in dropdown mode..so that when you touch the statusbar,instead of seeing the date we see the clock..
[Android Themes] doomhammer07:
I have the same problem :-(
[Android Themes] K Dotty:
Anybody tried the bottom power widget on ICS? If not, I'll give it a go

Sent by wiggling my big toe in a IceColdSandwich
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
Hmm... Mine had never done that until today, when it randomly changed... I'll see if I can find a way around it

It should be possible, yeah. Switch the clock line with the date line in status_bar.xml

As above, I'll try and find a solution today

I haven't, CM9 for my phone is far too buggy. If you do try please let us know! :)
[Android Themes] Felimenta97:
Anyone know if it's possible to deodex only SystemUI.apk to make the bottom power control widgets? And maybe odex again later?
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah, look into manual deodexing (using smali and baksmali) for how to de-odex SystemUI

As for Odexing again, I never managed to successfully re-odex the damn thing, I'd always end up with bootloops.
[Android Themes] Felimenta97:
The phone will boot with one file deodexed and the rest odexed?

I have xUltimate here, it deodex for me, it's super easy :)
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah, Android's not too fussy about which files are odexed and which aren't ;)
[Android Themes] Felimenta97:
OK, I will try here and give you a feedback ASAP.

EDIT: I can't manage to deodex SystemUI.apk.

xUltimate give a error, and a litle baskmali manager have the same error. Can you try this for me?

And there is someway to implement this on CMParts.apk? I would ask my ROM dev to implement it.
[Android Themes] ehmjay:
how did you replace the icon?
[Android Themes] yonzz:
Yeah, mine like that, i just follow your tutorial :D

Does this happen because i use apkmultitool?

Do i have to use APK Tool?:confused:
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
No, I'm still getting the issue, albeit rarely
[Android Themes] andemort:
I have noticed that this happens if cyanogen mod tablet tweak "disable lockscreen" is not ticked.

If it ticked just works.

I still can't fix it, but the power widget moves once every 12 hours for me (I think)
[Android Themes] jordonkobe:
@TheGrammarFreak Your tutor is amazing and easy to understand，but I got a problem，the bottom power widget doesnt work ，and do you know how to change size of the clock on the status bar？
[Android Themes] TheGrammarFreak:
I'm aware of issues with the power control, I'm working in it. As for the clock, you can probably define it's size in the xml using Android:textsize or something similar. I've never tried though

I'd rather watch some music videos in 720/1080p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Hmmm.. Are we sure that youtube offers true 1080p? I've heard there's still compression that affects and diminishes quality even on so-called 1080p....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
The youtube app on the GN is updated to support the HD screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
1080 is, well.. 1080! If it were 1079 then it's not 'true', but if it's 1080, it is! Resolution and quality are two seperate things. I could re-encode a 480 video to 1080 and that would be still be 'true' 1080.

All video is compressed and loses quality. Even a Blu Ray at 40Mb/s is compressed and lossy. Bitrate determines quality, and there is no set standard for what HD should be. So if you want a good demo for your screen find something with a high bitrate to play. Of course, too high and the phone won't cope with it, but it'd be good to see what it can handle.

Yes the PlayStation store for xperia play has been leaked. And now it seems sony has made it so UK accounts work to.

All you gotta do is download and install the apk then all done, get it here http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/11/2...a-play-now-working-for-non-japanese-accounts/

However the ps Pocket will no doubt disappear in the next software upgrade.

I think the problem they have is that there is the Sony Ericsson/ Sony Computer Entertainment and Android market.

But now Sony has given Ericsson the boot, things should start to be consolidated into one store.

That's good news, this is the first step for the PLAY to become a true PlayStation Phone. When The PS Suite launch officially (on spring next year) it will be the PS-Phone we always wanted. Oh and ICS on the way too, next year is going to be fun.

@DeanBoro & @bubblegumballoon

If you follow the news about PlayStation Vita, you may heard that it's launching in Japan without the ability to play PSone classic initially. This functionality is suppose to come later on, presumably before US/EU launch date.

I think PSVita is going to use the same format of PSone gmaes used for the PLAY and SONY tablets. The old format will be phased out with time.

That's why PSvita is not launching with it, I think they are currently working to convert most of PSone games available for PSP & PS3 to the new format and test the compatibility, and working with original IP holders & publisher to extend the licenses to cover the new PS Suite certified devices (remember there will be other certified devices by other manufacturers in the future -not only Sony- and the old license acquired form publishers doesn't cover them) Securing the right to republish & emulate old games is not easy process, you can check here for more info at PlayStation.Blog

The question is... Are we still going to pay again for the new license when the app launch officially for the PLAY? well, I don't know & I hope not, but

I think most likely it will remain a separate purchase. The best thing they can do is to offer a big discount if you have the same game tied on your PSN account. So it's not buying the game again, more of "

upgrading

" the game to cover more devices.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MechaBouncer:

Ok so im trying to use PlayStation store but it shows no content. I am able to sign in with my U.S PSN account.

Is there a need to change build.prop to r800i maybe??or is it not working for everyone?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] MechaBouncer:
I can log into the PS Store with my US account, but I also get the "No Content" message. I'm under the impression that they still haven't made any games available for US accounts. Only Japanese and UK accounts seem to be able to purchase games through it for now. Although this is a step up from about a month ago where I could not even log into the PS Store because it would refuse with a message stating "not available in your region" if I had the US selected. I suspect that they will start to populate it in the coming weeks/month as we get closer to the US PS Vita launch as it looks like the Vita will share the same store.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] trueg:
It's June, PS Vita is out and I still get "There are no content items."

Hey,

I recently rooted my phone GS2 and wanted to install the CyanodenMod 7.1.0, but I keep getting an error every time I try install via Rom manager, Btw this is my first time doing this, I have read lots from sites and forums but just don't get what is going wrong, This is what I do:

- Download ROM Manager

- Click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and it does that successfully

- Click "Download ROM" and select "CyanogenMod" it download fine and then click "Wipe Data and Cache" & "Wipe Dalvik Cache". I have also done the same thing but using the option from SD Card.

- My phone restarts and boots into the standard recovery and give this error:

"--Installing Package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

- Then I just click "reboot system now" since it didn't work and now I am stuck.

I sort of know the problem, it isn't booting into the Clockwork Recovery it's just booting to the standard recovery, but I have no idea how to make it open the Clockwork Recovery, please help or tell me what I am missing.

Thanks for reading.

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
You can boot into recovery mode manually, and choose the zip file from sdcard and flash it straight away. You can also toggle the signature verification there if you get the same error.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
1. Download Siyah kernel, open the .zip and copy the zImage file to your SDcard.

2. Install DarkyROM2 app via Android market

3. Choose Flash option in DarkyROM2 tool and select the zImage file copied to SDcard.

Once DarkyROM finishes doing its job you should have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.

For CM7

1. Download CM7 manually from cyanogenmod.com site

2. Copy the downloaded zip to sdcard

3. Shut of your phone and power it on using volume up+home+power

4. Hold it till you get to a screen with lots of options in orange or blue color thats CWM

5. Do a factory data reset ( Will delete all apps/settings )

5. Select Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard > select CM7 zip you copied

say ok.

6. Reboot your device, done .. you should boot into CM7.
